Swiss Alps

These photos of Swiss Alps were taken during our April 2015 trip to Switzerland. We stayed in a wonderful village of Murren and, in addition to exploring it, took cable-car rides to the peak of Shilthorn with its famous Piz Gloria revolving restaurant and a lovely village of Gimmelwald.
